Cupid must have had a cold trip de

was a large number which from their
nppeuronce were anything but tender.
On thecontrnry, no doubt many a heart
ache has been caused today by tho con
temptible urtiuloB known us "comic
valentines." While some are sent mere
ly as a joke, others are made tho means
of administering cute and insinuations
which are calculated to sting deep und
accomplish the purpose for which they
wore sout. It would bo bettor for tl.e

Tho Trade Journal lias this to say of
tho Columbia salmon situation: "We
are iu receipt of letters from the Colum
bia river which state that tho opening
price on that rivor will probably not bo
less thun on a if l.'ir for tails basis ami
may bo na high aa 11,50. They look for
active buying competition for flab, which
will cause higher pricoa than befote
known during an opening seaeou. From
all we cat) learn no packer on that river
will name prices until satisfied as to the
price for fresh salmon. The price fcr
the latter ia aa yet an open question, for
o far aa can be learned the fishermen
have not named nrices und probably
will not until towards the opening of j
t ie leaion."
WUhlng to express their appreciation
of hi in and their regret nt his permanent
departure, tho brother E!ky gave a social
session iu honor of Harry Lonsdale last
niitlit at their hall. While a bIiow of
levity prevailed, it was plain to be seen
it wan but ft musk, for back af it till was
the feeling that they were parting with
one of their best und most popular
members. A splendid banquet was
given and the lodge as a body accompa
nied him to the train. Some months
ago during his absence in the East, us
an appreciation of his faithful work in
the olllce of E quire, he was honored
with a life membership curd, w hich is a
favor seldom accorded, and so far as is
known there are but about a half dozen
in tho United States.
It lias been n most difficult matter
throughout tho late wart for anyone
who has merely access to tho newspaper
nrticles regarding the campaigns to have
an understanding of tho situation of
the nrtiiics und their movements. We
see but through n glass darkly. This
difficulty has, however, been somewhat
obviated by the thoughtfnlness of (lie
Equitable Life Assurance Society in
providing an atlas of the two wars,
which thus gives all an opportunity to
follow the steps of each army and read
of their campaigns understanding!'.
We find one on our table with the
compliuieots of their local aent, Max
A. Yogt, and feel now us if our perusal
of the disptitches concerning the wars
would not bo 60 thoroughly Greek to us.
And so, as was feared by all, W. H.
Brown is free, the grand jury see
ing tit to bting in an indictment of
assault nud battery, when the indigna
tion of the district attorney led him to
dismiss the case, saying that such n
proceeding would be a dint; race to the
court nnd n truvesty on justice, the
sentence for such being twenty days in
the county jil, while he considered it
should have been assault with intent to
kill and n penitentiary ofl'euse. The
jury took the case up yesterday after
noon, Mrs. Brown appearing, but failing
to witness against her husband. The
CiutoNioi.i: bus already expressed its
opinion strongly in regard to the case
nnd does not care to reiterate the state
ments made. Without further remarks
we can now only hope that tho intent of
the jury to liberate the man who at
tempted to take his wife's life, that he
might work to support his family in
stead of being placed in the penlteutiary
and his wife nnd family bo dependent
on the county, may not be thwarted. If
he fail so to do nud the county be called
upon tu eull'er therefrom (leaving the
wife entirely out of tho question as she
has chosen her course) then should those
who nre responsible be called upon to
take the case into their own minds una
not only carry it through, but support
the family ub well,

A RIVAL-
Portland Attempting to Secure the
Scouring Mill,
After reading tho Telegram and Ore
gonian last night Dalles people surely
realize that if 'tis to bedone, then 'twere
better 'twere done quickly. Wo refer to
the scouring mill proposition now before
our people, yesterday's issue of these
two Portland dallies reminding us that
we are not the only pebbles on the coast,
but that the people of that city have
awakened to the fact that there is such
a place as The Dalles in Oregon, and
that her citizens aro not all asleep, but
are now about to do what should have
been done many years ago put In an
industry here which will make our city
what it was intended bv Nature to be
Learning this lact, Portland is about
to step in and st cure our sconnng mill
for herself and will make a proposition
to Mr. Russell. One of l.er business
men said yesterday that if the people
here did not at once lake advantage of
the opportunity Portland should im
mediately take steps to have Mr. Russell
give them the benefit of the proposition.
We believe, however, that that gentle
man sees the advantage which The Dalles
holds over Portland as a location for
such an industry, as anyone who has
ever looked into the matter can plainly
understand. The Dalles is truly the
logical wool-trading center of the east
ern half of the state, and as such should
have not only a scouring mill, but the
woolen mill, which wmld undoubtedly
follow.
As will be seen, it behooves us to put
our "best foot forward" in tho matter,
which we believe is the intention of the
committee who today have been meeting
the business men to determine what is
their intention in the matter und how
much can be raised toward Jhe $25,000
bonds whicli the city is expected to as
sume. At tho meeting last night Mr
Russell more fully explained his propo
sition, the gist of which is as explained
in the Cmto.Nicu: Fridav. He will remain
in tho city n few days until it is deter
mined what nclion is to be taken. If.nfler
canvassing the city thoroughly, our
people should not Fee lit to accept Mr.
Russell's proposition, then should they
immediately look about tor other chan
nels in which to work along the same
line. We must have such an industry
and have it at once, so that we will be
iu readiness for this year's clip.
Are we going to allow Portland to step
in and rob us of what is ours by first
right? This question must be decided
immediately, and every citizen should
realize its importance.
Circuit Court.
The court is occupied at present most
ly with criminal cases, although one de
cree of divorce was grauted, that of Efile
M. Bodwell against Bailey F. Bodwell.
Yesterday afternoon the case of W R.
Brown was investigated and the jury
brought in an indictment charging him
with assault and battery. This morn
ing was set as the time for pleading,
when the district attorney, after a scath
ing address regarding the proceedings,
dismissed the case.
The case of the State of Oregon vs.
Allen Edwards, charged with obtaining
money under false pretense, came up
und Edwards pleaded guilty and will be
sentenced Saturday morning.
A true bill was found in the case of
John Carey and Frank Quinlan who
were charged with robbery, having held
up and robbed a man in the East End
about a month since. They plead guilty
nnd will bo sentenced tomorrow morn
ing at 0 o'clock.
The case of Simmons, who is charged
with robbery at Bakeoyen, will be
brought before the grand jury this after
noon. Hoard of Fire Delt-gato.
